It’s been about 10 weeks since I became an official #ROMIntern, and not a single meeting with my supervisor has gone by without me at some point exclaiming, “This is so cool!” Despite this, though, not everything has been rainbows and sunshine. There’s one thing in particular that, as a new intern, I think I could have done a better job of: asking general questions.

Wages are supposed to make the work we do worth our time, right? Well as a student intern my nerdy little heart flutters at the mention of undiscovered facts...and school credit doesn't suck either.
HIS498Y5 is an internship course for advanced undergraduate History specialists, majors and minors at the University of Toronto, Mississauga. The course offers students with research abilities an opportunity to apply them in work settings outside the university such as museums, historical societies and public archives. This is a chance to develop skills, contribute to the historical record, and make contact with public institutions and professionals outside the university. The internship course is taught by Prof. Elspeth Brown.
